This CL introduces generic Torque structs. Generics are grounded early in the Torque compilation pipeline, meaning that every instantiation of a generic struct with concrete types will be turned into a distinct StructType.
As an example, consider a Tuple of types T1, T2:
struct Tuple<T1: type, T2: type> {
const fst: T1;
const snd: T2;
}
which can be manipulated using generic macros, such as
macro Swap<T1: type, T2: type>(tuple: Tuple<T1, T2>): Tuple<T2, T1> {
return Tuple<T2, T1>{fst: tuple.snd, snd: tuple.fst};
}
Currently there is no type inference for struct instantiation sites, so type arguments have to be provided explicitly:
const intptrAndSmi = Tuple<intptr, Smi>{fst: 1, snd: 2};
